> US would put tremendous diplomatic and other means of pressure if EU does serious harm to tech companies.
Even more reason that the EU should work as hard as possible to get rid of their reliance on American companies. America is no longer a trusted partner.
I agree. Breaking up Big Tech might seem like going after windmills but maybe it's time to protect our local industries before we're all stuck buying abroad from monopolies that dictate what we see, buy and even think. A bit of protectionism now could mean healthier markets later. Less tech oligopoly, more tech diversity.
